This Saturday’s 12-race card at the Meadowlands Racetrack features a solid group of eight older pacers in Race 7, which will be contested for a purse of $17,500.
Art History has captured the fancy of the morning line oddsmaker. He has been pegged as the 2-1 early choice and will start from the outside Post 7. Art History has won three of his ten starts this season. He seems to do his best racing over the mile oval. Jimmy Marohn Jr. has the driving assignment for trainer Steve Elliott and owners Ken Klein and Old Block Stables.
Mel Mara will race for new connections on Saturday. He was purchased privately by Robert Cooper and J&T Silva following a couple of impressive starts this season. Dylan Davis is the new trainer and Corey Callahan has retained the drive on the talented but delicate seven-year-old son of Lis Mara.
The Meadowlands will host the final of the World Harness Handicapping Challenge on Saturday night. It is the largest of the harness contests and a few openings remain if you feel like taking a shot.
First-race post time for the Meadowlands’ Saturday card is 7:15 p.m.
